These are the hands of your best friend, young and strong and full of love for you, that are holding yours on your wedding day, as you promise to love each other today, tomorrow, and forever.

These are the hands that will work alongside yours, as together you build your future.

We should always remember to never take the people we love for granted. Love and Marriage are not always easy. But with mutual respect, with the love and support shared, well tended… Love and respect becomes second nature as time passes.

The first time we met, I couldn’t help find you to see you again. It took 6 months, but when it happened and I saw you across the street, I knew if the distance was hundreds of miles, I had no choice but to traverse it.

I never thought going to community meetings about 6 years ago, I would meet my future husband, and here we are. When I first met you, I saw a man filled with so much love and laughter and knew I wanted to be a part of your life.

6 years later, I realized I waited my whole life to meet you and yet another, waiting for the moment that we find ourselves in. You’ve taught not to fear the storm because we laugh even harder in the rain. You’ve taught that I can be more than I am. I can achieve greater things that I ever thought possible.

I didn’t fall in love with you, I walked into love with you. Choosing to take every step along the way, I do believe in fate and destiny. But I also believe where only fated to do the things that we would choose anyway. And I choose you.

These are the hands that will give you strength when you need it. And lastly, these are the hands that even when wrinkled and aged, will still be reaching for yours, still giving you the same unspoken tenderness with just a touch.

From the moment I see these two together 5 and a half years ago, and still this day, it’s obvious how much they were meant for each other. My hope for you both is that you will always see each other in the same way.

Sarah, I promised to stand beside you always. To fight for you when you need it. To soothe when the world is to much. I promise to love you, and give you all that I am.

May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face; the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Hey now, hey now This is what dreams are made of Hey now, hey now This is what dreams are made of I’ve got somewhere I belong I’ve got somebody to love This is what dreams are made of

What is a perfect marriage? I’ve asked myself that question a million times and I must admit… I still don’t have the answer. What I do know is, I promise to be most loyal, understanding, patient and caring husband that I can be.

I promise to always honor you in a way that you fiercely honor and protect all of your loved ones. I promised to take care of you, in a way that you’ve always taken care of my heart.

Your path’s crossed… and it changed everything. It was not by accident, it was a God thing.

They say you don’t know someone until you live with them. I say you don’t know someone until you live with them, have a baby, buy a house and plan a wedding in under 2 years with them. I am happy to say that after almost 9 years and specially the last few of them and everyday since then, you’ve continued to prove what I’ve always known, you are the most humble, genuine, hardworking, incredibly handsome, caring man, I have ever known.

You are beautiful, kind and caring heart is something that amazes me everyday. As I look into your eyes I can stand here today and say that I am thankful that I have a partner who pushes me to be the best that I can be, and the best version of myself.

I promised to listened and receive every incredible lesson that you continue to teach me about life and family. And I promised to cherish you more. To my best friend, my love and my co-parent, leila’s daddy, and my very soon to be husband, I love your more than words could ever expressed today and all the days of my life.

I vow to be your rock, your best friend, and most of all your husband. This bond will never be broken, and let’s continue to show our leila girl, what true love is. I love you baby girl.

Eren and Clarissa – a match made in heaven

You two have already experienced, one of lifes’ biggest stressors together, more than once… Moving. You’ve travelled to turkey, you’ve lived in Miami, you’ve travelled back to Maryland, and most recently you’ve made a home in australia. It’s already quite a testament to this love you share, that you’ve been willing to face this things together. And You’ve face some hardships on this journey.

Today, there is vast and unknown future that is stretching out before you. And that future with its joys and sorrows are hidden from your eyes, but it’s a great tribute. So may this love that you share, grow more stronger and even more secure, with every passing.

Your love for one another and your willingness to accept each others strengths and weaknesses, with insight and consideration will help cement the foundation for a strong and a lasting marriage. And share your thoughts, and your experiences and your dreams with one another.

They have shown enormous strength and resilience and I think all of this things and the fact that they have come so far in the past two years, I think provides and we hope a very good foundation for a long, happy and healthy marriage.
